lay offs .. yep .. me too.
I was greeted at the door this morning and walked to the office. Received my sererance package and then was allowed to clean out my desk.
When one door closes, another door opens. I kinda felt like I would be in this cut, hoping I wouldn't, but felt like it.
Good thing DH tuns 65 in July. Guess I'll have to start checking out medical insurance now.
Soooo if it's alright with you guys, I'll just hang out with you for a while.
Lay Offs
Boy this must be the week. I myself was also told on Monday that I was laid off from my hospital job I just started 5 months ago. I think they just used me to clean up their mess of backlog. I was very sad the first day, but then realized they did me a favor. No more working 10-6:30 shift and on Sundays, which I hated. My husband was happy. I am going to get unemployment so I can enjoy the summer months for the first time in about 10 years. It is going to be great.
As they say everything is for a reason. We may not see it now but we will later down the road. I think this is a blessing for me. They were always hounding me to get my line count. I never had acute care experience and only did clinic notes for 5 years but they hired me and I was always short 50-100 a day. I feel a huge pressure off my back. I felt like I worked in a factory. I never took a lunch and I feared if my doorbell rang or phone because I did not have a minute to spare or my line count would suffer. No one should have to work like this and I will never. My next transcription job is going to be like before on a 24 hour turnaround. I am not working set hours ever again.
Keep the faith- God always closes a door but opens a window and I have always believed this.
HUGS and love!!

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for the info.
write offs/deductions for IC's??
Just wanting some ideas on what everyone uses as deductions. Im going to get hit hard this year and just seeing what everyone else does.
TIA,
DirecWay Drop-offs
Thanks for the tip. It looks like Direcway has a new upgrade from the 6000 model...more money of course. I will need to do something, as 3 days at half-production is just too miserable.
I don't pay more taxes. I have write-offs.
You have to decide that for yourself. Write-offs,

Direcway satellite drop-offs all day...
Is anyone else having problems with their satellite connection this week? After 6 months of no problems I am now getting constant drop-offs until 5 p.m. I am on the west coast and no weather problems. I have called "customer service," but that was beyond frustrating. Dial-up is excruciating to work with after being used to the high-speed. Thanks in advance for any info.
After I do my write-offs it's more like 10% - I think 30% is on the "conservative" side of
you don't owe. They have practice sheets you can do that will help you figure it out. Do a dry run using those and that will give you a better idea.
Write offs make a big difference. nt

Sounds like any old pair of cut offs would be acceptable....
The description reminds me of my MUCH older brother's wedding circa 1973.... She was barefoot, he was in ripped jean cut off shorts, the preacher looked like something that crawled out from under a rock, and when he asked my brother if he had anything to say, he "grunted." Gawd, it was awful. I'm sure this wedding you're going to won't be that bad, but if the bride is barefoot and the groom is in khakis, then any decide informal summery outfit would probably be A-ok.
But you get tons of deductions and write-offs.

As an independent contractor, where can I go to get a list of what I can write off legally when working from home?
TIA.

Speaking of rip-offs, anyone have any advise on how to get back money paid for a product you never
received? I needed a Dictaphone C-phone for my job (was using a loaner) and put a note on the equipment board pertaining to this back in May. A woman contacted me stating she had one for $100 (I only needed the phone, power supply and phone cord). She said she was going away for 3 weeks and to Western Union the money to her that night and she'd send it out the next day. I did not like the high pressure and was still shopping around anyway so I told her I'd wait the 3 weeks and contact her then. About a week later she emailed me stating she cut her trip short but was going away again that Friday (It was Tuesday), I had by this time decided to buy her phone. I mailed out that day via Priority mail a M.O. for $100. She was very anxious for the money, and thought I'd sent it Express Mail, which I of course informed her I did not. She stated that it should be there by Friday and if she did not see her mail that day that she'd have her mom check the mail and then mail the C-phone to me. After 2 weeks I emailed her as I had no phone as yet, no response. A week later still no phone, emailed again, no response. Then I called her (looked it up) and she claimed her email was "broken" and she had not received my emails but would email me back as she was on her way out the door to a baseball game. I asked her how can she email me back if it was broken??? So then she backpedaled and said she'd call me.... I held my breath at that point. So the next day by some miracle I get an email from her stating her mother had mailed it regular mail, no way to track it, etc. So supposedly it is lost. I emailed her back which it appeared she did not get as she did not respond to my questions but she did email me again saying she'd return my money.....again I am holding my breath. That was 8 days ago. She is in OK, I am in VA. If she sent me a refund promptly it would have been here by now. Now when I call her, she does not pick up, and no answering machine either. I am planning now to mail her a copy of her email and my response to getting my money back. I am assuming at this point that I was taken for a sucker and was obviously too trusting. Right now I don't have $100 to burn (who does?) with my drives to the hospital (60 miles round trip) for my daughter's chemo, doctor visits, etc, on top of only making about 1/2 what I used to make due to the changes in my life right now. In the meantime I got kicked off the account for which I needed the C-phone for (add insult to injury here) due to problems at the company I was working for, so that does not sweeten my disposition any. So does anyone have any idea how I can squeeze her and get my money back? Contact the police there for fraud? Small claims court in OK? I am a persistent pain in the butt and will keep at her until I get my money back, if it is fraud then she picked the wrong person to screw with, if it is on the up and up then it is unfortunate but she should have insured it to cover her own (and mine) butt, and sent in with a delivery confirmation too....but you know what they say about hindsight. Any ideas???
